Answer:
252
Explanation:
An equation to represent the situation is:
17.5% * 1440
convert 17.5% into a decimal:
0.175
and then solve:
0.175 * 1440 = 252
A₀ = 18 000(1 + 0.0025)⁰
A₁ = 18 000(1 + 0.0025)¹
A₂ = 18 000(1 + 0.0025)²
A(n) = 18 000(1 + 0.0025)ⁿ
So, after 5 months, A(n) = 18 000(1 + 0.0025)⁵ = $18 226.1278 ≈ 18 226.13
5 years is 60 months.
A₆₀ = 18 000(1 + 0.0025)⁶⁰ = $20 909.1021 ≈ $20 909.10
You divide 240 into 12 and get your answer. the answer is 20
